User Manual for Andromeda, RFID Gate Sensor
FCC WARNING
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause interference to radio communications. This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules:
FCC ID: Q3L-ADS100
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1)
this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2)
this device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
Unauthorized modifications may void the authority granted under Federal Communications Commission Rules permitting the operation of this device

1.0 Sensor Gate
The
sensor
gate
was
developed
to
read
information from RFID-labels and cards, which
are carried through a passageway. The area
that is covered by this function is between the
antennas from knee to shoulder height of an
average height person.

2.0 Function and technical specifications
Through the scanning of data, an alarm (acoustic or optical) or the initiation of
other equipment can be triggered. By using a Gate-Tracking-Software, the number and kind of misappropriated media will be registered and can be used for
other statistical purposes or to order new items.

Basically, certain guidelines must be followed during the installation and usage
phases. Usually a site inspection takes place prior to installation, where the positioning and cabling logistics are determined. Despite this, certain preparatory
steps can be taken in advance to better facilitate installation and start-up.
NOTE: It is important that the gate sensor is positioned in the vicinity of a wellobserved area (such as the librarian’s desk) to facilitate a better view over those
persons who have triggered an alarm.
2.1 Technical specifications
The gate width between the two antennas, center to center is 90 cm. The antennas of the gate sensor are connected to a separate reader module. Please refer
to the reader module manual for further details.
The reader module is equipped with a binary input/output signal used for the optical and acoustic signals. Each active antenna is equipped with a light and a
buzzer/horn to emit these signals.
3.0 Installation Recommendations
Consideration of the following construction tips can assist in achieving optimal
functionality of the gate sensor. There are a few illustrations attached with regard
to the installation:
1.
The equipment should be installed in a "freestanding" way; i.e. there
should not be large metal objects within a radius of 3 ½ feet. In order to
achieve the desired mechanical stability of the equipment, a firm anchoring
method should be chosen. Care should be taken not to damage existing infrastructure under the floor such as pipes, cables and reinforcements.
Electrical connections to existing infrastructure under the floor should be
avoided. If the antennas are delivered with a base structure, then the base
should be screwed to the antennae. In this case, drilling into the floor is not
necessary.
2.
Construction of the equipment on surfaces where heating systems are located under the floor must be cleared with Bibliotheca first.

3.
Connections, such as data communication cables, etc. should be perpendicular to the gate sensor direction. The cables have to lead directly away
from the antennas without loops or angles.
4.
If there are heavy industrial power-lines/systems located in the same
building, an equipment test should be performed in the planned installation
area prior to installation.
5.
Walls with metal structures can affect the antennas. Steel girders, structural steel, metallic water pipes, metallic heater pipes and lightning protection systems are, depending upon their location, surrounded by high frequency electromagnetic fields, which can lead to disturbances. A spatial
distance of 7 feet from such elements is therefore necessary.
6.
Television sets personal computers and accessories, as well as short wave
receivers should not be operated within 7 feet of the gate sensor.
7.
A distance of 7 feet from fluorescent lamps and 15 feet from fluorescent
tubes should be maintained as they may also lead to disturbances.
8.
Mechanical devices such as household appliances, electric power tools and
electric toys can also cause interference. The distance from such devices
must be at least 7 feet.
9.
Other RFID-systems, which operate using the same frequency range, can
cause interference. To avoid this, a distance of 10 feet should be observed.

NOTE: If two gate sensors are set up within 8 m of one another, the respective
antennas must be synchronized. To facilitate this, a cable (2x2x0,22 mm2
shielded and paired, such as Unitronic (LiYCY (TP) Æ ca. 7,0 mm) needs to be installed.
Data transfer
If data stored from the gate sensor process needs to be analyzed the standard
and present interface of the scanner module can be used. In order to transfer the
data, a PC with the appropriate software is required. The data transfer is done
through an RS 232 /RS 485 interface. This requires a cable between the basisantenna and the respective PC to be installed prior to system delivery and installation. The PC requires a free COM port. With respect to the PC, the cable should
be connected to a LAN interface in direct proximity to the PC. The cable connected to the basis-antenna is connected during installation. The cable 2x2x022
mm2 shielded and paired such, such as Unitronic (LiYCY (TP) Æ ca. 7,0 mm),
cannot be longer than 30 m and should be installed prior to system delivery and
installation.
NOTE: When more than one gate sensor port is connected to a central PC each
basis antenna will require a free COM port.
